Entraction (24hNetwork, B2B) support under development.

The support for Entraction network is almost ready.

We have been lately working on adding support for Entraction network and the work is nearly done. In fact, the development has already proceeded so far that the first version with Entracion support is under testing by our internal testing team.

Entraction network is probably an unknown term for many poker players. It is the poker network that was previously known as 24hNetwork. Maybe even more familiar name for that network is B2B which was the original name and many players still use that name in their spoken language. In the December 2007 the shareholders of 24hPoker Holding AB decided to change the name of the company to Entraction Holding AB to separate the supplier organization from the gaming site operation. This means that they want to avoid being confused to 24hPoker.com which is a gaming site of Entraction network.

Entraction network includes over 120 poker rooms and Poker Evolver will support all of them. A list of poker rooms in this network can be found
from Poker Scout.

Entraction network differs from many other networks because it uses euros instead of dollars as the currency in poker tables. The development team of Poker Evolver has faced many challenges with this speciality because PE must support multiple currencies along with Entraction support. Bankroll Management will also support multiple currencies. Some of you have already requested this feature so this is good news for you.

We have received a lot of requests to make Poker Evolver support FullTilt Poker. I also have good news for you who have requested this: FullTilt support is now scheduled and it will be made soon. The estimated release time is about after a month which means the middle of March.

Poker Evolver playing cards arrived

At December I wrote about customized playing cards with Poker Evolver logo. The decks arrived couple of weeks ago so the delivery time was not very long. Here’s some thoughts about the cards.

Playing Cards Cases

It was a nice surprise when opening the package that the card cases had also custom image printed on them. You can see this from the photo above. (I’m sorry about the bad quality of the images, it was not my fault ;)).

Poker Evolver Playing Cards

The cards itself are coated paper cards ( I didn’t even expect plastic cards ). The quality of them is pretty standard. The cards are fine when you are playing home games with your friends. For more serious live games you should consider 100% plastic playing cards.

Poker Evolver Playing Cards

There is actually nothing very surprising about the cards. The quality is ok and so is delivery time (even to Europe). I think that customized playing cards would be probably a great gift to almost anyone since you can use whatever image or photo you like.

Customized playing cards can be designed at Custom Poker Cards
